Hi,
I just recently converted to a Roadsmith trike.
I had the nerf bar rear bumper added (see pic below).
I did not buy the optional Roadsmith draw bar as I wanted an aftermarket one.
My question is: what length draw bar to get. Obviously, it's got to be out past the rear and bumper. Anyone have this combination? IF so, how far is the ball hole from the pin hole on your draw bar? Or how far past the rear is the ball located?
Tnx.

Just took a pic. I bought my hitch at wally world. Should work.

The ball or the entire hitch. I need to get mine set up for the RS receiver. By the way, sure like that black accent. How did that happen?

I need to get mine set up for the RS receiver.

RS already did that for you, all you need to do is buy a hitch from RS or walmart and do the wiring for trailer lights (cheapest way) or you can go buy a wiring kit from a motorcycle shop on the internet and spend 70 or 80 dollars for one of there plug and play adapter kits :Shrug:. Easiest way to do the wiring is to buy a five into four wiring system at walmart or other.

By the way, sure like that black accent. How did that happen?

I was just walking along with a can of paint and tripped. :laugh: Some thoughts, some head scratching, some tape and a little paint.
